Journal Impact Factor Visualisation

http://ouseful.wordpress.com/2008/08/26/journal-impact-factor-visualisation/

Whilst looking around for inspiration for things that could go into a mashup to jazz up the OU repository, I came across the rather wonderful eigenfactor.org which provides an alternative (the “eigenfactor”) to the Thompson Scientific Impact Factor measure of academic journal “weight”.

The site provides a range of graphical tools for exploring the relative impact of journals in a particular discipline, as well as a traditional search box for tracking down a particular journal.
